I should just take the kids and go already!вЂќ Mike storms off.

When I married you I thought youвЂ™d be there for your family. Jade is shocked, вЂњBut I just wanted you to help me with setting up the store! And I havenвЂ™t been neglecting anyone!вЂќ Mike comes up very close to JadeвЂ™sВ face: вЂњYou see! Now youвЂ™re denying it. For the past few months, Jade has been trying to establish a small art shop, but when she asks for her husbandвЂ™s assistance his mood darkens: вЂњI canвЂ™t believe youвЂ™re spending so much time on this shop-donвЂ™t you care about me-donвЂ™t you care about your kids? YouвЂ™re supposed to be mothering them!вЂќ he exclaims. In a relationship scenario: Jade has been married for 5 years and has two small children with her husband Mike. When Andrew confronts his father about this aggressive name-calling, AndrewвЂ™s father laughs and tells him вЂњto stop being so sensitive.вЂќ Every day Andrew is afraid to вЂњtip the balanceвЂќ of his fatherвЂ™s mood because he often bursts out in fits of rage calling Andrew a вЂњbastardвЂќ and a вЂњworthless little loser,вЂќ among many other hurtful names. In a family scenario: AndrewвЂ™s father is an angry, bitter man. LetвЂ™s take a look at some examples of Gaslighting. This is often done by making you feel вЂњoverly sensitive,вЂќ вЂњparanoid,вЂќ вЂњmentally unstable,вЂќ вЂњsilly,вЂќ вЂњunhinged,вЂќ and many other sensations which cause you to doubt yourself.Д¬ommonly adopted by psychopathic, sociopathic and narcissistic types of people, Gaslighting tends to eat away at you slowly until you realize that youвЂ™re a shell of the former person you were. Gaslighting, at its core, is a form of emotional abuseВ that slowly eats away at your ability to make judgments.Д®ssentially, a Gaslighter spins their negative, harmful or destructive words and actions in their favor, deflecting the blame for their abusive deeds and pointing the finger at you. Inspired by the 19 films вЂњGas Light,вЂќ where a husband systematically manipulates his wife in order to make her feel crazy, the term вЂњGaslightingвЂќ is now commonly used to describe behavior that is inherently manipulative.
